The 21-year-old has been involved in the majority of the team’s goals and looks like he has been playing English football all his life. Then, you have Fernando Torres. The Spanish striker has started the campaign well and this is massive for Chelsea in life after Didier Drogba.
As for Atletico Madrid, they will go into this one in excellent spirits after a fantastic 4-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao in La Liga. Following a solid draw on the opening day, they turned on the style in their first home league game of the campaign.
The main man for Atletico was highly-rated striker Falcao who scored an impressive hat-trick to help his team to three comfortable points. The 26-year-old has been linked with a move to England too of course, so it will be interesting to see how he does against Premier League opposition.
Overall, this should be a cracking contest as La Liga and the Premier League collide. Both teams have started the season well and there is lots of attacking talent on show.
This one gets underway at 7.45pm.
